Upon seeing the destruction by the bombers, we see among the wreckage… a giant red shoe and a green car.Some splash pages feature various world leaders or personalities who… are just depicted without saying anything, and without any kind of relation to the plot.Even Frank Miller himself came to feel that he went too far with the racism here. As only a few people are willing to read a comic book that is unabashedly racist and Islamophobic. Audience-Alienating Premise: While everybody enjoys seeing terrorists get their comeuppance, most people were understandably put off by the fact that the comic doesn't just target terrorists but all of Islam and Muslim culture as well, which is where most people draw the line.One could also take The Fixer's failure to actually get anywhere when it comes to stopping the problem of terrorism as a statement of how pointless it is to engage in blind militarism against your enemies.Unfortunately, this point is completely ignored so that Miller can share his conspiracy theories, then have the Fixer violently slaughter the terrorists. The story actually does include one valid point by bringing up Osama bin Laden's then-recent death, namely the fact that killing off one high-profile terrorist leader doesn't automatically make terrorism (or even Al-Qaeda) go away forever.
